Creator's Key Takeaways

Queen Mary 2, the last ocean liner at sea and she is a spectacular museum of a ship. She is a piece of history and is something to be experienced.

The least favorite place I've ever been to is also in the Caribbean. I've been to this place three times. Each time I've been, I've had a negative experience there.

If you're a solo passenger, I would really recommend Ambassador because, you know, from the cruises we've experienced, they seem to really look after their solo passengers really well.

The biggest disappointment was the awful service we had on board and the cleanliness of our cabin. It's by far by far the worst cruise we've ever been on for service and cleanliness.

Creator's Tips & Advice

βœ“Temper your expectations to have a much better time.
βœ“Track cruise prices manually on various websites to find the best deals.
βœ“Research destination vlogs to understand what to do in port rather than just focusing on the ship.
βœ“If you encounter a 'bump in the road' on a cruise, choose to be happy rather than letting it ruin the holiday.

πŸ†•New to Cruising? This Creator Addresses:

Solo travel β€” Ambassador is recommended as they look after solo passengers well with activities and table sharing.
Preconceptions about age and social class β€” Cruising is for everyone from young to old and includes all walks of life.
Ocean vs River cruising β€” They are different beasts; river is more expensive and intimate, ocean offers more anonymity.

YouTube Video Description↓

We have been on YouTube for exactly two years since we published our first video. To mark the occasion we asked our subscribers to ask us any questions related to travel, cruises or us! We have lots to tell you in this vlog - everything from our first cruise on Thomson Dream to the worst place we have been to and would be reluctant to visit again. This is a controversial place as we know lots of people love this particular island. We have been cruising since 2016 and travelled with Marella, Cunard, P&O, Princess, Ambassador and Virgin Voyages. We have also done a river cruise with TUI in 2023. For us our cruise travels are all about the destination rather than the cruise ship - controversial to many people but thats's us! However, there is one question which we simply cannot answer on YouTube but watch to find out what that is and how you may be able to find out one day the answer. 0:00 Introduction 0:24 What is your bucket list cruise? 1:23 What has been your favourite ship? 2:09 What is the best value cruise you have been on? 3:06 What is the best cruise for a first time solo passenger? 4:30 What is the best cruise for a married couple in their 40s? 6:12 Where is your least favourite place you have visited? 8:20 What are our favourite places in the Caribbean? 10:26 Would you travel with friends? 13:55 Would you do a round the world cruise? 16:19 Are you retired or do you have day jobs? 19:27 What was your first cruise and what made you go on it? 21:29 What were your preconceptions about cruising? 23:45 How do you balance enjoying cruises and filming content? 27:55 What is your favourite place you have been to? 29:56 What has been your biggest cruise disappointment? 31:18 What has been your biggest unexpected surprise? 33:35 Do you have a system to get the best cruise deals? 38:00 Have you ever not enjoyed a cruise? 40:00 Do you recommend an ocean or a river cruise for a first time cruiser? 43:10 What is your funniest travel moment? 43:53 What is the future for our channel? #cruisetips Follow us on Socials: Instagram | https://www.instagram.com/travellinglightlisa/ Facebook | https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61550871332897 Website | travellinglighter.co.uk
